About Me

The travel bug bit me when I was 12 years old and went on a French Club trip to Quebec, Canada. I haven't stopped since. Traveling is my passion. I became a travel agent because I love creating fantastic vacations.

I specialize in honeymoons and romantic getaways, cruises, family vacations - especially Walt Disney World, and group travel such as family reunions, girlfriend getaways, and 3 generation trips.

I know what you are thinking - is this going to cost me more? In most cases - no. I make a commission from the hotel or cruise line so your vacation will be similarly priced to what you would have paid if you booked it yourself.

So when you are ready to book your next favorite vacation, please email me or give me a call. I am ready and excited to help. My email - tripswithangie@gmail.com and my phone number is 813-501-3106.
